Status: offline 		UPDATED: We have now posted the second public beta, which incorporates quite a few more fixes based on your reports and those of the testers. This should be the final released update, but we'll give it a couple of days to percolate just to make sure.

Please Note: Although this is likely the official update, this is still a beta version and as such is not officially supported. We are however very interested for those of you with issues, particularly sound issues, to download and install this update and post your comments here and in the support forum as far as whether this update helps resolve them or not.

Here is the link:

v1.10 Beta Update:

Regards,

- Erik

The above link to the changelog seems to go in circles.

I do, yes.

I can see it's called "readme.pdf," though for some odd reason the link doesn't work for me. I thought perhaps it was just Firefox doing something odd. It appears to download, but nothing actually gets downloaded. Odd, I'll have to check my browser settings.

Hm, have you tried right-clicking on the link and choosing "Save Target As" to see if that helps?

I can't get a cavalry unit to move in mountains, even in your home territory, I also can't get cavalry to move into a friendly occupied hex in enemy territory? Doesn't seem right, any one else run into this?

I tried that initially, but noticed it was saving an HTML file. Then I realized what the issue was. I need to stay away from the KB on low caffeine levels. :)

Yep - it's enforcing the rules properly now!! :)

Cav can always strat move to/from mountain hexes (to them provided they're friendly of course)

So of you set up cavalry in a mountain in the mobilization phase you can't move them out of the mountain unless you move a strategic move?

However, I am still seeing cavalry not even able to move into non-mountain hexes, I had Activated German cavalry not able to move onto a friendly corps in Russian territory? 1 hex across the boarder?

thanks

I was able to recreate it, see attached file, not sure how to paste in the image, sorry.

If it works you can see the cavalry isn't given an arrow to move to the attack with the infantry? Stacking is 7 of 14 so it's not caused by that,

thanks

Yes I've noticed that and mentioned it too - seems to be a glitch with activated cavalry - I can't think of a reason why they should not be able to do a "normal" move just because they're activated.

Clarification: I using the Normal patch with the sound off.

I started playing as entente and attempted to amphib the BEF. I got the new screen with posible destinations and first time it wouldn't let me because it said Turkey or Belgium/Holland need to be in the war. Okay, that's a rule, but when turkey entered it gave me the screen, allowed me to select Dunkirk, shifted the troops and then they promptly re-appeared back at Southampton after turn resolution.

Am I missing something (I've only just started playing entente so may have missed doing something with the amphib option).

I've also found Russian Cavalry a little reluctant to move.

Regards,
IronDuke

Thanks, it gave me a Major Victory tho. Also the Busy Sign forces me to Ctrl-Alt-Del to exit the game.

From the image it looks like the cavalry was alone and that the hex with other German units are units that just moved this impulse?  If that's right my guess would be the cavalry couldn't enter a hex belonging to the enemy because of the rule that says cav must start stacked with inf in order to enter an enemy hex.

The other rule is that cav can't enter cities which is what its in that hex.

Hope that helps
